“[The Emerging Church] was a wide set of phenomena, too wide to be called a movement. . . . Those who have been characterized as [Emergent] did not come from the same place, and they were not going to the same place. They had in common only one or two practices that put them in the same place in the eyes of critics within the establishment. There is no point in saying that one of these groups was legitimately [Emergent] and another was not, because we have no other criterion with which to define the legitimacy of [one's Emergence].”
